Sniper, I had a reason for asking the question.

I just witnessed an area wide lockdown exactly as I described in my questions.

Everyone complied with it. The vast majority welcomed it because it made them feel safe and very, very few complained.

An even smaller number of us used it as a training exercise to test weaknesses in their methods.
